convey the idea to your distant readers
that Pleasant HILL is a largo city, . big
town or even \ small village, for it is
simply country crossroads located about

One Of our public schools is located at
this point with about fifty scholars in At.

in the work OF leading the young minds
in the paths of wisdom. Next in i'm
portance is the erection Of q new store
house on the opposite corner from the

choice selection Of merchandise. A short

In those days when rum reigned there
was quite rough element in this Sec

bition and religious persuasion radical
change has taken place, which We hope

lifelong resident of this nsighborhood,
who blessed us with his broad and be-

of tickle fortune. Mr.. Wicks has been
engaged in various persuits. Some years
ago he married the widow of departed
